Randall County Sheriff’s officials seized suspected synthetic marijuana and paraphernalia Monday afternoon at a south Amarillo business, Randall County Criminal District Attorney James Farren said Tuesday.

Sheriff’s officials sought the warrant after they arrested an individual for possession of synthetic marijuana and that person told police he bought the substance at the shop, Farren said. An officer later went into the store and found what he thought to be “a quantity of that substance” in the store.

Officials then obtained a search warrant from a magistrate judge, searched the store and found a “leafy-green substance” they thought to be synthetic marijuana, Farren said. No arrests were made during the search, and Texas Department of Public Safety officials will test the substance to determine whether it is a controlled substance before any charges will be filed, he said.

Officials also seized what they thought to be drug paraphernalia from the store, Farren said.

“Any time any illegal substances, chemicals, et cetera are seized, if there is apparatus in close vicinity that would be reasonable to believe would be used to utilize the substance such as syringes, pipes, scales, things of that nature, sure we’re going to seize those things because it’s our belief that they are evidence of criminal activity,” he said.

Attempts to reach Green Gorilla store owners were unsuccessful Tuesday afternoon. The store was closed Tuesday afternoon, and a sign was posted on the door that read “Will re-open 4-18 sorry for the inconvenience.”

Synthetic marijuana is a schedule 2 controlled substance and possession or distribution of the drug can result in misdemeanor or felony charges, Farren said.
